How we met

Naomi and Lance met by what can only be described as pure happenstance, or rather fate. If you let her father (Alban) tell it, it was all his doing, and if you let his mother (Angie) tell it, it was all her doing. The truth lies somewhere in the middle, and without both of them one thing is for certain they wouldn’t have ever met!

Angie was a new client of the salon, and when she came in for her consultation with Alban she chose Naomi to be her colorist, and this is where their twist of fate began. Angie kept RAVING to a newly single Lance about how he HAD to meet this girl that was doing her hair. All she gave him was a first name to go off of (Naomi). Lance quickly put his internet detective skills to use, and soon found this Naomi, and Angie was right. She was absolutely breathtaking. As it turns out Lance & Naomi had a few mutual friends, so with that Lance sent her a follow request on instagram, and once she accepted he sent her a message and made his interests in her clear.  

It turns out Angie was not as good of a wing woman as we had all thought, because Naomi knew far too much about Lance’s personal life for her to entertain this crazy guy (Smart girl). So with that the love story of Naomi & Lance died, and Lance was crushed (sort of). Never ones to falter, Naomi and Lance both pursued other people, occasionally liking pictures from here & there but contact was relatively nonexistent for about a year. UNTIL, both of them became single once again. Lance & Angie were driving down the road, and Lance asked Angie when she was going to the salon again, and to put a good word in again with Naomi on his behalf. Naomi’s ears must’ve been burning, because not 5 minutes later NAOMI reached out to Lance. What a much needed twist of fate it was for young Lancelot. He was ecstatic. After an entire year, and both of them having had their rebounds out of the way. Their time was now! Shortly after Naomi reached out to Lance they made plans to go on a date, and the rest was history.

The two of them had an immediate connection, and neither of them ever wanted to be apart. Their fires burned bright from the very start, and they were both confident that they had met their soul mate. After about 2 months of talking, Lance asked Naomi to be his girlfriend on May 5th 2023 (Cinco De Mayo). Shortly after that around June, Naomi met Lance’s daughter Aria, and she only solidified their bond even more. The three of them have a love that is unmatched, unparralled, and unbreakable.
   
On May 12th 2024 (Mothers day) Lance asked Naomi to be his wife, and on November 30th 2024 they will officially unite in matrimony, to continue their love story that will then be sealed in fate.

About Puerto Aventuras and things to do inside

The community of Puerto Aventuras is quaint, tropical and lush. It is a private, gated community. There are several marinas inside the community that guests can easily walk to from the private villa. Yachts and catamarans are also docked in these marinas for private or group tours. There is a 9-hole golf course within the community. Services such a massages can be easily administered on-site, in the comfort of guest’s private room. There is an off-site spa, inside the community.

Around the main marina, you can find numerous restaurants, shops, and cafes. Below you will find some of our recommended businesses. Guests can also inquire with the Hacienda's concierge, Laurie, for recommendations.

Explore outside Puerto Aventuras

Cenotes: Are open water sink holes with fresh, clear water, and only found in these regions of the world. They are considered magical, spiritual, and therapeutic. There are many found off the highway, just outside of the community and along the highway going south. Guests can swim, snorkel, paddle board, kayak and dive in these above ground and underground ancient waterholes.

Tulum: Famous for their beaches, the laid-back, rustic, boho feel and of course the authentic Mayan ruins. The ruins are approximately a 25 minute drive from Puerto Aventuras. Tour time is approx. 1 1.2 hours. If you go, we suggest a ½ day itinerary that include the ruins, a stop at a Cenote and late lunch on the beach or at the many famous restaurants along beach road or in town.

Coba: A spectacular site with authentic ruins. The site is located about 30 minutes inland from the Tulum area, off-the-beaten-track with a pyramid that is higher than the one located in Chichenitza. Coba is a spectacular site with impressive structures, as it was a large city at one time. Tour time is approx. 2 hours.

Playa del Carmen: Is an international community, just under 20 minutes north of Puerto Aventuras. There are beach clubs with activities, restaurants, a world-renowned 5th Avenue that stretches more than 60 blocks lined with boutiques, cafes, and restaurants.

What currency is used here?

Pesos and US dollars are widely accepted. Many businesses and restaurants accept credit cards, but be advised that some may charge a 3-5% processing fee for the transaction.

Where can I find taxi service in the community?

A taxi station from within Puerto Aventuras can be found just outside of the marina, a short walk from the Haciendas, if guests want to take a taxi out of the community. We recommend to confirm the rate of where you are going, with the driver, before you enter the taxi. There is also a sign that lists the rates by destination.

What is the electricity system in Mexico?

In Mexico the standard voltage is 127 V and the frequency is 60 Hz. You can use your US electric appliances in Mexico, if the standard voltage in your country is in between 110 - 127 V (as is in the US, Canada and most South American countries). Manufacturers take small deviations (plus or minus 5%) into account. Be careful if you bring appliances from Japan (100 V). If the standard voltage in your country is in the range of 220 - 240 V (as is in the UK, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia), you need a voltage converter in Mexico. Some say you can carefully try to use your appliances in Mexico without a converter. Most likely they won't be damaged, but may not function optimally. If you don't want to take any chances, use a converter. You can also consider a combined power plug adapter/voltage converter.

What should I do if I can't make it?

If you’re unable to attend, please inform the couple as soon as possible so they can adjust their plans accordingly.

Is there a dress code?

Please navigate the schedule of events for more details on the dress code. If you want to know more, please contact the couple for guidance.

What is the language spoken in the community?

Spanish and English. The community of Puerto Aventuras has many English-speaking establishments.

Where can I find currency exchange offices & ATMs?

Please know that there are only a couple of ATM machines within the Puerto Aventuras area. You can exchange funds at the airport or at your local bank ahead of time if you plan to pay in USD. US dollars are widely accepted at many establishments. There is a money exchange house located near the marina inside the community of Puerto Aventuras, if guests wish to exchange US dollars to Mexican Pesos. It may not be the same exchange rate as a bank would give, as the money exchange houses charge a commission. However, the difference is minimal unless large amounts of cash are being exchanged.

What's the weather like in November?

The average temperature in Puerto Aventuras in November for a typical day ranges from a high of 82°F (28°C) to a low of 73°F (23°C). Some would describe it as warm, a bit humid but cooler in the evening.

I still have questions, how can I contact you?

Please feel free to email or call the bride and groom with any additional questions. You may also contact the wedding planner, Maria Roncarati for any questions maria@malouweddings.com.
